Death the Desert

Twenty-year-old Keenley was supposed to be home by dinner, but darkness descends with no sign of her. Maybe her bike broke down; maybe she fell and got injured. Everyone figures she'll turn up at dawn—if a little worse for wear. But dawn turns into day and a day turns into another. When it becomes painfully apparent she didn't go missing on her own, suspicions abound in the small town. Her parents know their daughter and her survival skills. If there was a way for her to get home on her own, she would. The sheriff knows the town and its many secrets. Plenty of folks in this remote region have pasts to hide. Keen knows whoever attacked her and left her for dead in the wilderness won't let her come out alive. Who will find her first? "Oh my goodness! So many twists and turns! My stomach was in knots from the first chapter to the end. Excellent!"—Bibliophile, Goodreads Reviewer
